XLR? It has some similar design elements, but it's not related to the CTS. In fact, I think it shares a platform with the C6 Corvette.
As for all the people who are surprised to see the 7 series on the list, where have you been? That vehicle has been the most reviled design to come from BMW in years, and people were screaming for a redesign as soon as it hit the streets.
My boss drives one and it does have an impressive presence. However, the styling details, specifically the headlights, trunk design, and rear fascia, leave a lot to be desired IMO.
